Parameters, such as snow loading, wind speed, exposure and topographic factor should be confirmed with the local building official or a licensed professional engineer. 2 SunFrame Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual N' U N I RAC Part I. Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load [l.l.] Using the Simplified Method -ASCE 7-05 The procedure to determine Design Wind Load is specified for more clarification on the use of Method I.

Laying out the installation area and planning for material conservation. B. Installing footings and rails, beginning with the lowest row and moving up the roof. C. Placing modules and cap strips, beginning with the highest row and moving down the roof. The following illustrated steps describe the procedure m detail. Before beginning, please note these important considerations. Footings must be Lagged into structural members. Never attach them to the decking alone, which leaves both the array and roof susceptible to severe damage.
